The Orange Dress

I've never really worn orange before but when I was browsing the H&M sale this little floaty number jumped out at me. It's a lovely colour for this time of year, it's flattering while hiding the post-Christmas paunch at the same time and it keeps me warm (ish) because of the long sleeves. It goes with leggings or with tights and I love that I can just throw it on without really having to plan an outfit. Because it's got quite a high neckline it looks nice with long necklaces and I'm trying my hardest to accessorize a bit more this year as that is one area I really skimp on. This particular necklace is actually a medal that belonged to my Great-Grandad (who I never met) but I love wearing it because it means something as well as actually looking pretty good! The completely non-matching earrings are from Next and who doesn't love a bit of marble?
